Pet Portraits Crafty Tip

If you're ordering a pastel portrait, make sure it's framed behind glass as soon as possible to avoid smudging. I suggest not using fixative spray as this discolours the pastel.

Pet Portraits Crafty Tip

When photographing pets the lighting and focus are the two most important things. Firstly use natural light, avoid using a flash at all costs, not only for the "red eye" effect but it also often scares your pet. Second, take a close up shot, using a sharp crisp focus.

Pet Portraits Crafty Tip

When painting a pet portrait it is important to get a feeling for the personality of the animal in question. By meeting the animal yourself and taking your own photographs as well as looking at those provided by the owners you will be able to produce a more realistic and characterful portrait of a pet.

Pet Portraits Crafty Tip

To get a good photograph of your pet it is best to take your photographs outside in the natural daylight. Try not to take your photo’s in direct sunlight. On a sunny day take the picture with the sun behind you and get the subject in the shade.
